...Nod forces are deploying a new generation of their iconic Obelisk of Light along front-line positions. It appears that the Obelisk's functionality has been improved with additional serial-channel capacitors. Although the basic architecture of the design does not deviate greatly from earlier generations, the core of the laser weapon has been enhanced for increased firing duration when the power output is reduced. Evidently the tower can now be set to sustained-fire mode when used against unarmored targets such as infantry and civilian vehicles. This allows the laser to fire at limited power in an arc, resulting in a cutting motion that can strike several infantry per emission.

 The advanced capacitor also allows over-charging of the tower by Nod's long-range artillery platform, the Beam Cannon. When one or more Beam Cannons focus their laser weapons at a receptor on the base of the tower it can fire over increased range by directly feeding the added energy into its mirror array. The limited targeting ability of the mirror array still suggests aircraft as the optimal answer for any Obelisks encountered on the field...

…Nod部队正在沿着前线阵地部署他们标志性的新一代光明石碑（Obelisk of Light）。似乎方尖碑的功能得到改进，附加了额外的串行通道电容器。尽管基本建筑设计和早期版本相差不大，激光武器的核心得到了增强，这使得输出功率减少时发射时间能被延长。显然，现在光明石碑可以设置为持续射击模式用于对付非装甲目标，例如步兵和民用载具。这让激光可以在有限功率下发射呈现弧形，做出可以一次攻击数个步兵的切割动作。

 先进的电容器也令Nod的长程火炮平台——光束炮得以为光明石碑进行过载充能。当一辆或多辆光束炮将激光武器聚焦于方尖碑底座的接收器时，光明石碑就能直接将投入的能量汇总到它的镜像阵列中，增加其射程。镜像阵列有限的瞄准能力仍然表明飞行器是在战场上遇见任何光明石碑的最佳选择…
